Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 549 It doesn't matter who comes.

"Awooo!" However, this time, when Toast crawled out, "Cricket" Binary Sister was just a side effect. The furious Toast declared it was going to get revenge on that wretched creature!

"You got beaten up by Luo Shiyu, didn't you?" Zheng Fan asked, looking at it with amusement.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

The toast accused the other party of being treacherous and cunning, daring not to confront it head-on, but only to cheat and deceive! To ambush!
"You mean he just disappeared right under your nose and then punched you at close range, and you couldn't even sense his actions or react before you were hit?" Zheng Fan said with some curiosity.

"Awoo~." The toast still felt wronged, puffing up its cheeks, and looked like it was about to turn into a pineapple bun again.

Toast could accept losing a head-on fight, but being knocked out by a punch out of nowhere was hard for the fiercely competitive Toast to accept.

What's most frustrating is that the other person even tried to show off by talking nonsense while looking at the toast.

“After all, they are members of the Luo family. Even if they are members of the Luo family who were not valued and escaped from the violent world, a ‘dragon’ is still a ‘dragon’. That’s roughly how you can understand it.” Lin Yilin took the opportunity to explain the ecology of the Luo family to Mo Mang.

"There's such a powerful family... Is it really the power of bloodline?" Mo Mang exclaimed in amazement. Bloodline is something that's rarely mentioned in most places.

No relevant research has proven that the offspring of strong individuals have any outstanding advantage in absorbing other factors.

However, in a violent world, influenced by elders and the environment, the absorption and conversion efficiency of hemoglobin in offspring is generally higher, but this is not simply due to bloodline.

The Luo family's bloodline is genuine; they do indeed possess the element of "innate strength." The fact that the bloodline war promoted their growth is even more unbelievable. Then, the emergence of a madman further catalyzed the strength of their bloodline.

The ultimate master was Luo Ye.

However, in this kind of bloodline ecosystem, the stepping stones for the successful are countless. Under normal circumstances, the Luo family should eventually present itself as a group of extremely few super elites standing side by side.

However, due to Luo Gong's procreation plan, this generation of Luo family members still managed to have such a large number of people even after feeding a group of people to Luo Ye.

Although it was said after the battle at Geshan that only two members of the Luo family remained.

However, considering Luo Gong's crazy actions in Dadu and his beastly plan to force births, it is quite normal for some bloodlines to flow out.

According to Lin Yilin's investigation, Luo Shiyu came from a violent world.

Even a dragon is still a dragon, not to mention the unpredictable illusion magic of the Lord of the Dragons. It's perfectly normal for Toast to be killed on their first meeting.

"Awooo!" Toast didn't care about anything else; it was determined to fight back.

"You've got ambition, I'll take you with me." Zheng Fan smiled and pointed at Toast. Toast immediately cheered up again, jumping onto Zheng Fan and rubbing breadcrumbs all over him.

Lin Yilin sighed helplessly, but didn't say anything more.

As long as Zheng Fan can keep Toast in check, then carrying Toast isn't a problem. Only Zheng Fan can keep this unruly son in check. Lin Yilin's experience of carrying Toast alone has made her increasingly understand what people who hate unruly children think.

After speaking and resting for a while, they prepared to go out and follow up on the investigation.

Lin Yilin glanced at the latest news from the Criminal Investigation Bureau on her phone. Mo Mang's mishap exposed one of the gang's hideouts, and the Bureau followed the clues, arresting several people and recovering some of the stolen money.

Even if it was only for his own sake, Mo Mang did indeed provide tremendous help to the Bureau's operations.

However, the main funds and the number one culprit, Luo Shiyu, still escaped. Lin Yilin was not surprised by this.

This criminal gang, primarily composed of violent residents, possessed a very high level of criminal sophistication, handling even unexpected situations with remarkable composure. However, their ability to escape suggests they may have relied on some external force.

Lin Yilin was flipping through the relevant materials when a phone call suddenly came in.

It is Chief Shiraishi.

Lin Yilin was slightly surprised and answered the call directly: "Chief."

"Lin Yilin, you're currently following up on the latest robbery case, right? I have some intelligence here that I handled personally just now. I've instructed my team members to keep it quiet for now, so it's not convenient to spread it around." Bai Shi spoke quickly but clearly, ensuring that no one could misunderstand him.

Lin Yilin: "Please go ahead."

“Someone helped Luo Shi and his team when they were escaping. Otherwise, no matter how fast they reacted or how thorough their plans were, they wouldn’t have been able to escape in that exposed situation. If they could have, they wouldn’t have needed to travel all the way from Jiyun City to Xixi Keke to waste so much time with us.” Bai Shi got straight to the point without any hesitation.

“I can probably guess that,” Lin Yilin replied.

"Then I'll confirm your guess: the person behind it all is the Pure White Society. Some of the traces are typical of the Pure White Society's methods, and only they would use that kind of people in this way. Of course, this is just my personal judgment based on experience. If you need confirmation, you can go to your teacher."

Lin Yilin had heard about Chief Baishi's past, and without needing to confirm it, she was basically certain that what Baishi said was true.

"Thank you for sharing. Do you have any instructions for the next steps in the investigation?" Lin Yilin asked respectfully.

“Although they made covert preparations for their actions, they are not actually afraid of being found out afterward. Considering the recent trend of Pure Whiteism spying, even if we gather the relevant chain of evidence and hand them over to the Central Committee for adjudication, we will not be able to bring these people to justice... The Central Committee itself is the purest Pure Whiteism, but most of the time they don’t care,” Bai Shi said.

“So we have to catch them in the act,” Lin Yilin continued.

"Notify me when the time comes, but there's no need to wait any longer or be afraid. Prioritize your own safety and act within your capabilities. If someone commits a major crime in my jurisdiction and is caught red-handed, they'll die, no matter how powerful they are," Shiraishi said bluntly, yet his words conveyed a strong sense of security.

Shiraishi's lack of any positive feelings towards the Pure White Society, and even his dislike for it, may be related to his past experiences.

Zheng Fan listened from the side and couldn't help but marvel, gaining a deeper understanding of this chief scholar of Baishi.

Those last three words alone were something even the most prominent figure in the far-off Xinjiang region could never utter. They were the kind of words that would bring tears to Xiao Lu's eyes.

This is also an advantage of the current Xixi Keke Bureau's strong position and the factional independence within the city.

Clearly, one of the people who created this situation was Shiraishi, who was on the other end of the call.

"I understand." Lin Yilin didn't say much, just gave a calm reply.

"I'll send you the clues right away, and I'll help you block some of the view from other directions. Your actions will also be a great support to us, please."

"No need to be so polite, I have received a lot of care from you." Lin Yilin said modestly.

Generally speaking, Binary Girl would never be modest, but she would be when facing Chief Shiraishi.

“No, you earned all of this yourself. Your teacher and Edelman will be proud of you.” Shiraishi didn’t show much emotion; he was simply stating the facts.
